The story

Sally Schumann was the loyal lone holdout of Panama's La Mina alliance — the one ally who stuck with Terry Deitz as his side was steadily picked apart by the dominant, dysfunctional Casaya bloc. Resourceful and game, she survived on the strength of Terry's immunity dominance and her own willingness to grind out a brutal season.

With Terry forced to win challenge after challenge just to keep them both safe, the moment he slipped, Casaya pounced and sent Sally home in eighth. A gritty, underdog run on the wrong end of a lopsided alliance.
